New Yorker cover: Offensive? Satire?

The latest issue of New Yorker magazine has a cover by artist Barry Bills, called Politics of Hate, that's stirring a bit of hate of its own. The cover shows Sen. Barack Obama dressed in a turban and robes, "dapping" his wife Michelle, who's got an Afro. The little scene is set in the Oval Office, with a picture of Osama bin Laden hanging on the wall. Offensive? Lots of people think so. Some argue, like New Yorker editor David Remnick, that it's meant to be a satire about the ridiculous rumors about Obama.
